A340 Depressuriz(s)ation

Hi Folks:
Does anyone have any decent figures or charts concerning oxygen supply following a decompression? We used to have a graph correlating altitude/bottle pressure/pax but has since disappeared from our FCOMs. We have escape routes in the event of depressurization but I think they are too general regarding configuration (some airplanes have 5 or 8 bottles), bottle pressure, and pax numbers. We carry 2 bottles for the cockpit. Could anyone confirm that the crew and pax bottles are the same size. If so who is more critical: potentially 287 pax requiring oxygen to 14000 feet with 8 bottles; or potentially 4 crew requiring oxygen to 10000 feet with 2 bottles? I understand that time at altitude will be critical, but where is the crossover point between crew and pax?
Could any other 340 operators post their depressurization SOPs?
Cheers
